Big Problem
Ok so I am driving to the gym this morning anf my car just starts smoking from the exhaust and coming out of the hood vent. So I immediatly turn t he engine off and coast to the side of the road:
Pop the hood and check the oil level-fine
Check the oil pressure-fine
I have no idea whats going on...
The smoke smelled like something was burning and was a white/grey color. The coolant level is normal, and the car was warmed up completly before I started it...
Please help me diagnose whats going on...
I am about to pull the intake to see if the turbo is seized....BR3065
Thanks

Ok, so I think it has something to do with the crankcase...
Reason being because I pulled my intake off anf there is oil sitting at the bottom of it. (I have no vaccume feed going from my manifold to the intake)
Also the whole pressure being released from the dipstick when I pulled it out...

The pressure at the dipstick hopefully it just a faulty pvc valve not reliving the crankcase pressure what about the other one that goes to the air intake tube it really sounds like a broken piston ring groove or a melted piston but lets hope not It's just these are the things that cause crankcase pressure build up
good luck
good luck

Well I have the rre catch can with the pcv delete....so thats not my problem However, maybe the pcv delete may be causing an issue?
I have already removed the catch can, as it was worthless anyway, and am putting the stock pcv valve back in. I have to go to work now, so I wont be able to work on it again until 9 tonight....awsome.
this is weird...
It was fine when I started it, warmed up (10 min) then drove about 3 miles and then just started smoking from the exhaust...which I now know was oil being burnt in the exhaust...
So what causes oil to get squirted past the intake manifold? The head is not leaking, and there are no other leaks under the car. Radiator overflow is at its normal level...

I will be doing a compression test tonight along with installing the stock pcv valve back on and routing it back to the intake manifold.
I believe people usually see 175 accross the board for compression tests if I remember correctly..
I checked the IC pipes and all are tight with no leaks (wo7uldnt be smoking this bad but thought I would just double check)
Any other suggestions?
